Mrs. Whitney, in contrasting New
York society life with that of Washing
ton, lately said to Mr.. Frank G. Carpen-
ter: 81 like b1th very. much, but they
are vitality different. The New York
society is grander and statelier than that
of Washington, and you can see why il
must be so when there are so many rich
families in it, Washington society is
more mixed, more unconventional and
more cosmopolitan. You meet here the
prominent characters of the United
States, and you bump up against a new
idea at every meeting. IL is q delight
| full society, and there is no place in the
world where you hear more bright say
ings in so short time"
